News Helicopter Crashes In New York

That pilot did an AMAZING job getting the helicopter down. The NTSB always lists "failure to maintain control" as a factor in an accident simply because that's an easy one. Rotor fell off? You failed to maintain control! Flying Helicopters is harder than you can imagine when everything is working. When things are broken they crash and usually, you die. The "significantly higher but not unmanageable" is from the Pilots handbook for that aircraft and is placed there to keep the manufacturer from getting sued. The procedure documented above has been demonstrated by highly skilled test pilots with thousands of hours of flight time. A pilot in a helicopter has literally 3 seconds to determine that something is wrong and take corrective action before things spiral completely out of control... This pilot did a great job. ANY helicopter crashthat you live through was a very good one.

That pilot was brilliant, and so are these comments.

It is not very hard to drive a helicopter but yes u people who are not superman needs to take flying lessons..
If u look on the post over this u can see what was wrong and that there should be no problem flying away..
inexperienced pilot if u ask me.

For you people who think i talk bullshit myself?
Well i can more about helicopters than 99.9% percent of you. I have been flying Radio Controlled Choppers since i was 10years old.
And yes i built it my self from a kit and i had to buy all electronics and engine besides it was not a ready to fly pack.

And yes i can fly RC choppers for u who wondered.

And that guy should have managed to save the chopper as well it was only luck that they did not die really good luck..

And for u people who says that he did an amazing save that is bullshit what else could he do? it was not a save at all.. They do NOT fly with parachutes.. they have NO ejection seats. and a chopper like that costs around 800 000$ to 1.6million$.

aka 99% luck 1% skill.

You have been playing with toys since you were a child.. and therefore you have enough expertise to tell the real pilots what the scope is? That is about the funniest example of what happens when one lies to ones self and believes his own lies.. Dude I have 30 years experience with real helicopters including a year in combat at places like Hamburger Hill. I have over 12,000 hours flight time.. accident free. One reason I am accident free is I knew the difference between my aircraft and a toy. Another reason is I avoided like the plague little boys with toys that happened to look like aircraft. I avoided being in their presence as well as their advice or words of wisdom.. those little boys with toys, are absolute proof that ignorance is always arrogant and as such are utterly incapable of seeing themselves for the fools they are.. One question ck90. What ever gave you the idea that anyone cared or wondered if you played with toys or not?

But being the person i am, i would probably panic and crash it too lol

but I got wasted.

in gta eh ell u keep that up and tell us,more about ur near death expearyance

S**t happens, your chopper crash was unfortunate too.

"News Helicopter Crashes" was what you saw, but only submitted 9 months ago. This is the original submission, that was the duplicate. Just an observation.

they couldall be dead now if it wasn't for the skill of the pilot and their Guardian Angles.

U mean the skill that almost killed 2 persons lives his own? what did he do well? hmm i know.
NOTHING.

Plz if u dont have any knowledge about choppers then keep it to ur self.

The choppers where in good condition to fly away and land.

DId u know that good heli pilots can land the choppers even without engines?

Its called autorotation and that is skill not that bozo flying around like an alcoholic PURE LUCK.
